[QUOTE="dadside, post: 363557, member: 5707"] I'm not an expert, but I'd never want to cut off communication with my child, and never want them to not have a place to turn to when there was need. That is not the same as offering an open door for living accommodation etc. It is "I love you" and "I want to do what I can that is good/best for you" ... and when she asks for help, I'd want to be able to provide it. I did that with our son some years ago, and got him into a psychiatric hospital, followed by an outdoor therapeutic program -- all of which gave him the tools to turn it around. No quick fix, but a world of difference which continued to improve. We didn't let him come straight home, but we kept lines open. [/QUOTE]
